The construction sector is experiencing transformative changes, with several significant projects scheduled for completion by 2026. Among these developments is the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, which is set to rise near the intersection of Nepokorennykh Avenue and Amurskaya Street, as reported by Gosstroyadzor. The approval for this project marks another step forward for religious architecture within the region.
According to the detailed information available on the agency’s website, construction work at the site can proceed until December 27, 2026. The design sketches for the church had previously been approved by the city’s Committee for Architecture and Urban Planning (KGA) back in September. The project design has been developed by the company AMC-Projekt.
This new place of worship will encompass more than 3,128 hectares, with the church structure itself measuring 533 square meters and standing nearly 28 meters tall. Alongside the church, plans include the construction of two clergy residences with dimensions of 221 and 210 square meters.
Architects from AMC-Projekt have also envisioned additional community-friendly amenities, such as a children’s playground and park zone alongside a memorial cross. Notably, the proposals include creating a transparent fence around the church grounds, complete with entrance gates and landscaping improvements.
Meanwhile, other significant infrastructure projects are set to follow, particularly focusing on improving water supply systems. The Taman water pipeline, which is part of the national project aiming to boost housing and urban environment standards, is also projected for completion by 2026. This ambitious project, as detailed by the regional construction department, entails the construction of approximately 40 kilometers of new pipeline.
So far, more than 30 kilometers of this extensive network has already been laid. Once completed, the total length of the Taman water pipeline will reach 64.2 kilometers—making it one of the largest and most technically demanding projects for infrastructure development within the region.
The new pipeline, constructed from 530 mm diameter steel pipes, is being laid alongside the existing water supply lines. This design facilitates operational flexibility, allowing for seamless switching between the pipelines. Notably, the construction is part of broader efforts to improve drinking water access for residents across various districts of the Krasnodar region.
The completion of these projects aligns with the key objectives of the federal project "Clean Water," which aims to increase the proportion of the Russian population with access to quality drinking water from centralized systems. This initiative, which was previously part of the national ecology project, transitioned to be included under the housing and urban environment national project starting from 2021. Such projects have been championed since 2019, under the directive of President Vladimir Putin.
Other initiatives have faced their own set of challenges. The city administration has recently made amendments to the 'Address Investment Program' for 2024-2028, which highlighted the postponement of the water softening station project. For the time being, there are no allocated funds for the project remaining for 2025, and instead, significant funding has been earmarked for 2026, amounting to around 79 million rubles.
Further budget allocations are also anticipated, with similar funding projected for 2027 and 2028. Unfortunately, as reported by Orelgrad, the federal government has retracted previous subsidies intended for the Oryol region under the "Clean Water" initiative which may set back progress.
Conservation of the partially completed project now also poses financial strain, with estimated costs nearing 700,000 rubles.
These developments highlight the varied dynamics at play within the construction and infrastructure sectors, from religious projects to advanced utility systems, all indicative of broader government efforts to improve community facilities and environmental standards. With 2026 on the horizon, stakeholders will undoubtedly be watching these projects closely to see how they intertwine with regional growth and accessibility for all residents.
